Remember every minutes matter.
Players sprinted across the grass, chasing after the ball with determination and skill. However, amidst the fast-paced action, disaster struck. One of the players from the opposing team, Alex, collapsed suddenly, clutching his chest in distress.
​
Panic erupted among the players, spectators, and coaches as they realized that Alex was in trouble. The referee blew his whistle, signaling for a pause in the game, but confusion reigned. Coach Mark rushed onto the field, his heart pounding with fear and uncertainty. He knelt beside Alex, desperately trying to assess the situation and provide assistance.
​
As Coach Mark looked around frantically for help, he realized with a sinking feeling that neither he nor the referee had received CPR training. They were ill-prepared to handle such a serious medical emergency. Time seemed to stand still as they awaited the arrival of emergency services, but every second felt like an eternity.
​
Minutes passed, and the situation grew increasingly dire. Alex lay motionless on the field, his teammates and coaches standing by helplessly, unsure of what to do. The sound of approaching sirens provided a glimmer of hope, but it was too late. By the time paramedics arrived, Alex had already succumbed to cardiac arrest.
​
However, it doesn't have to be this way. Get trained today.
